Millinette Contraception

What benefits does Millinette offer?

Millinette is a great option for women who struggle with stronger hormonal contraception, as these pills offer a lower dose of hormones which help to minimise hormonal fluctuations during your menstrual cycle. Millinette can also help with regulating your periods, especially if your have irregular periods, struggle with cramps and heavy bleeding. Some women also notice improvements in acne and PMS due to the support they provide with balancing hormones.

How to take Millinette

Millinette is to be taken at the same time, each day for 21 consecutive days. This is then followed up by a 7 day break where no pills are taken. During this 7 day pill free break, most women experience a withdrawal bleed similar to a regular period. However, once this pill free break ends, a new pack should be started straight away regardless of it you are still bleeding. Also on as the pills are taken correctly, they can be over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.

What are the side effects of Millinette?

Like many other combined hormonal contraceptive pills, Millinette may cause side effects for some women. Some of the more common side effects include:

• Nausea
• Headaches
• Breast tenderness and enlargement
• Mood changes
• Spotting

It is important to understand that most of these side effects only tend to be experienced on a temporary basis, usually within the first few months of taking the pills. However, they often improve on their own as your body adjusts to the pills. In some rare cases, if you experience severe chest pains, shortness of breath or swelling in the legs, seek medical assistance as soon as possible.

Are these any risks involved with taking Millinette?

Like all medications, prescription contraception may not be suitable for everyone, and it should only be taken under the advice and guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. Millinette can carry small risks of developing blood clots. They also do not offer any protection against sexually transmitted infection. Therefore, it is recommended to use additional protection such as condoms if in doubt.
